One group is assigned to be active on the primary ASA, and the other group is assigned to be active on the secondary ASA. A failover group is simply a logical group of one or more security contexts. In Active/Active failover, you divide the security contexts on the ASA into 2 failover groups. Active/Active failover is only available to ASAs in multiple context mode. In an Active/Active failover configuration, both ASAs can pass network traffic.You can use Active/Standby failover for ASAs in single or multiple context mode. When a failover occurs, the active unit fails over to the standby unit, which then becomes active.
The standby unit does not actively pass traffic.
First, we downloaded and installed VMWare Workstation, and then we install eve-ng on it. Hey! We have configured Cisco ASA Firewall in the eve-ng network simulator.
Question: What is the default username and password of EVE-NG GUI?Īnswer: Username admin, Password eve. Question: What is the default username and password of the EVE-NG console?
